Hey Everyone,
Only a few updates from the past week.
Getting Ready - This week in my cycle I don't usually get up to anything. It is more a week to recharge my batteries. Next week I start the new cycle so I get with the heavier chemo and steroids.
Tried out some new techniques - this past week I was out photographing and trying out some new techniques. To do them properly I need to have a tripod because I have to keep the shutter open for so long and doing it hand held makes the photos a little fuzzy. But I wanted to see if I liked the outcome before getting the tripod. It turns out I do like the outcome (check them out at Aaron Offord Photography). I also want to get in night photography. I plan to get a cheap tripod soon and continue to do some experimenting with zooming and panning. Also the tripod will allow me to start experimenting with night photography.
Greatest Invention Ever - This week I went and got a Bosch Tassimo. I have always wanted a single serve coffee maker since working at the Oakville office. There we had a Keurig and I absolutely loved it. I loved the ability to make a fresh cup of coffee without having to make a big pot. In addition, it was very easy to try many different types of flavours. So for the last little while I have been researching into getting one. After researching the Keurig I found a lot of negative reviews of it breaking after a couple months. Then I came across the Tassimo. Not only did it not have the same durability issues but it makes many different flavours. This machine is awesome. It makes lattes, cappuccinos, hot chocolate, coffee, and tea.
Continue to make progress - I am still making progress on the treatment of my foot. One is almost gone and the other is getting smaller. I still treat it each week and hope it will be all healed before I go into the hospital. I have now decided to treat it but not to the point where I can't walk at all during the week. That just makes life miserable.
No New News - There is no new news on the transplant front. When we met with them we were told it could take a number of weeks so I am not fretting. It looks like I could be in the hospital for the super bowl again this year. It would be kinda cool if I was back in the hospital for the same time period as I was the first time, it would add a little symmetry to the disease :) Truthfully I would rather it in the new year just because I don't think I am fully mentally prepared for it yet. I completely prepared for the gruelling treatment but I am not ready to have the bone marrow tested again. I dread that testing day (the biopsy is super unpleasant).
Don't Judge - I am pretty excited for tomorrow. I am off to see the new Harry Potter movie. I read the books years ago and they continue to be one of my favorite series. For those that haven't read it, don't judge they are actually wonderful stories. Before I read them I had the same misconceptions but agreed to read the first book on a trial basis. It was one of the few books where reading at night was a bad idea because I didn't end up getting any sleep.:)
Well hope everyone had a great week and has a great weekend.
